assigned sex
Natal biological classification
Assigned sex is the designation of male or female given at birth, typically based on external genitalia.
The term emphasizes that this classification is made by others rather than chosen: Her assigned sex was female, but he now identifies as male.
Common in discussions of transgender identity, where assigned sex may differ from gender identity.
Often appears as assigned male at birth or assigned female at birth.
